• Abstract: Simple few-body systems often serve as theoretical laboratories across various branches of theoretical physics. A prominent example is the two-electron Harmonium model, which has been widely studied over the past three decades to gain insights into the nature of the electron-electron correlations in many-electron quantum systems. Building on our previous work [Phys. Rev. B 108, 245155 (2023)], we introduce an analogous model consisting of an electron and a positively charged particle (PCP) with variable mass, interacting via Coulomb forces while confined by external harmonic potentials. Termed the exotic Harmonium model, this provides insights into the electron-PCP correlations, a cornerstone of the emerging field of the ab initio study of multi-component many-body quantum systems. Through a systematic exploration of the parameter space and numerical solutions of the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation, we identify two extreme regimes: the atom-like and the particle-in-trap-like behavior. The electron-PCP correlation dominates in the atom-like regime, significantly influencing physical observables, while its role diminishes in the particle-in-trap-like limit. Between these two extremes lies a complex intermediate regime that challenges qualitative interpretation. Overall, the exotic Harmonium model offers a powerful framework to unravel the electron-PCP correlations across diverse systems, spanning particles of varying masses and conditions, from ambient to high-pressure environments.

  We theoretically investigate the generation of emphmotional entanglement between two electrons via their unscreened Coulomb interaction. We compute the motional energy spectra of the electrons, as well as their entanglement, by diagonalizing the model Hamiltonian with respect to a single-particle Hartree product basis. In particular, the theoretical tools developed here can be used for fine tuning and optimization of control parameters in future experiments with electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium or solid neon.
